Silva was not unlucky with the penalty. He shot the same penalty against Kepa in the cup 2 years ago and scored it. Kepa told Lunin to not move from the middle when Silva shoots.

[@manuelaparcedo417]

also fun fact, when the next penalty taken by city is about to go, Rudiger signals Lunin to dive right behind the taker's back.

@forzainter2894 you have the best defense in Europe and still losing 😂

[@Hello-wy2px]

These power rankings are a joke anyway, but the point of them is assessing teams based off of most recent form. As things are going, Roma could very well be, and maybe even should be ahead of Inter. Nobody is saying Roma are better than Inter as a whole, and have been better this season - so pipe down, it’s not that serious.

[@forzainter2894]

@@Hello-wy2px clearly it is as u took your time to reply form wise inter are better we lost 1 game in the calendar year of 2024, so have they and that lost came at the hand of us there isn't any metric that you could use to support the argument that they should be above us in any ranking not form ,goals, defensive record

Final rankings for the season...its Germany for the win 1. Leverkusen (unbeaten treble) 2. Bayern (Champions League winner) 3. Dortmund (Champions League runner up)

This is by far the best segment of the show. The humour level is rivalled only by Steve Nicol’s frequent shout matches with Dan Thomas or Dan’s fights with Craig Burley. It’s wonderful.

Nice Ranking l, not sure about Madrid in second place because they dont playz is awful, but is alright. The rest of the list is alright too.

No one likes to be criticized, and it is precisely in criticism that we potentially grow and show who we are.

Leverkusen at the top is actually a quite sensible choice. Even for the rest I have seen crazier rankings from Shaka.

[@martinbilly2662]

In fact, the only English team that deserves its appearance here is Aston Villa. Psg should climb way up to the top spot after destroying Barcelona in Spain, which, in my opinion, was monumental.

[@raducora7159]

PSG wasn't impressive either. They were in deep problems until Araujo's mistake created the context for them to come back.

[@Nazhuk]

they played against 10 men for more than 60 minutes. They were losing when it was 11 vs 11

Dortmund in front of Stuttgart. xD A win in the CL seems to justify everything.

[@totalbodyperformancefitnes4813]

You can always argue with data. Soccer should never be based solely on numbers. Also Roma in the top 10? Why? They are 5th in their league which is sad and they beat a really poor Milan team which automatically means they are top 10 right now? Please stop the insanity. For being a top 10 team you shouldn’t be 25 pts from the first place team in your league. How about those stats?

[@ThomasSamoth-ls8ed]

Real Madrid = 'Bellingham, do something!!'

[@ericsicard910]

You can’t argue against data, but you can definitely argue against the selection of data. You can prove almost anything by selecting only the data that comfort your pre established beliefs 😂

[@rafaelisslaam1894]

am I missing something? is there some new trend going on or are they tryna pull some prank? cuz aint no way Leverkusen is better than Madrid. You have to look at the level of competition, Leverkusen cant even make it to the UCL while Madrid will lift their 15th UCL trophy.

[@raducora7159]

When it comes to current form and results, they are. Unbeaten in ALL competitions by the second half of APRIL. That's quite hard to argue against.

[@ThomasSamoth-ls8ed]

Bro, Real struggled HARD against freaking Union Berlin while Leverkusen demolished them twice this season. So yes, you certainly are missing something. You've got big name hype bias.

[@rafaelisslaam1894]

@@raducora7159 what competitions? are you really telling me Leverkusen plays the same teams madrid does, Madrid would absolutely destroy Leverkusen. Dont kid yourselves.

[@rafaelisslaam1894]

@@ThomasSamoth-ls8ed and you have a hating bias. Madrid demolished union Berlin both times lmao. Madrid plays against world class teams, who does levekusen play against? Madrid has 14 UCLs, how many Leverkusen has? Madrid has 35 la ligas, how many bundesligas Leverkusen got? This isn't even a debate. Its like bringing a t-rex in front of GodZilla or a Toyota in front of a Lamborghini. Madrid on their worst day would crush Leverkusen on their best day. If anyone thinks "Leverkusen" is better than madrid, they should immediately stop watching football.

[@raducora7159]

@@rafaelisslaam1894 Talk about bias 😂 You bring history and achievements dating back to the 50s into a discussion regarding current form 😂 You can only defeat the opposition in front of you, and the fact is that Leverkusen now has the longest unbeaten run of the whole century. So yeah, they really are the most in-form team in Europe. Once again, this is NOT a debate about which the greatest club is throughout history, but about who has the best string of RECENT results.
